Slept, slept a bit more, then slept some more. I think I've caught this nasty Swine Flu. It's possible it's just the regular flu, but it's hitting Corpus Christi pretty hard, so...
Cool! They were only meant to be temporary until I could locate something better. Now that's no longer an isue, thanks Nate!
It's amazing what you can miss when you step away to use the Men's Room for a few minutes.
Thanks Nate, It's been a lot of fun to build. With Marc as support it won't be my last project. And yeah, The DIYfest is definitely a fun way to build!
Here's the faceplate...
We did power it up, but it blew fuses immediately. I left the amp with Marc, and he thinks he's found the issue.
The blurryness was actually intended to somewhat mask the incredible projects Marc has laying around in various states of completion, and thereby promote a sense of intrigue and wonder.
I guess that didn't convey well across the net however.
"To everything turn, turn, turn. There is a season turn, turn, turn..."
What are the differences between the two?
I like the old, massive, heavy beasts, but they're getting harder to find.
Well this weekend brought the F5 very close to being complete. Luvdunhill, Pabbi1 and myself had a DIYfest at Marc's place, where the boards were wired up and the amp was powered up for the first time. Unfortunately the amp kept blowing fuses immediately upon fire up. Marc is hosting the amp for further trouble shooting, and may already have the problem figured out.
Shouldn't be too long for some initial impressions.
